The piezoelectric buzzer that's used as a pickup is visible in the box. All of the guitars that we're making are still able to be opened.

each instrument carries its own tune, some of sorrow, some of revenge

Yes, my background is a tissue, sitting on a black cigar box.

Lave cigarer, det var noget de kunne og var rigtig gode til.

Og æstetik forstod de sig også på.

Nyd lige den kasse der, hva!

My first Cigarbox Guitar build. Designed after the old cigarbox guitars and banjos built and played by the slaves of the deep south and other poor folks who just had to make music to satisfy their souls. They were the root of modern blues, R&B and rock.

Yer gonna go far. More not entirely PC material on Pinocchio.

Altered cigar box as a holiday gift for my friend Roe. I also added some cards that I thought were appropriate from a box of Esther Hicks "Law of Attraction".

This is the second test of a 4x5 fomapan 100 film in a cigarbox camera.

Lots of light leaks this time.

I have no idea how many cigars were in this small box, but I find the inside label of interest. I have to assume Manuel Lopez was the manufacturer in 1912 according to the dates on the tax stamps.

This is the older version with a red white and blue Stars and Stripes American flag.
